Give these competitors a huge round of applause
for this final heat.
What will the medal haul be? You're in the final
of the 2019 ISA World Surfing Games.
Inverts! We're going for number one, yeah?
Second, third and fourth is all the same.
-Yeah. -We're going for number one.
Get those big waves, dominate that start, dominate.
Take it away on the first wave.
Just getting to the final, all the pressure goes away.
All the pressure goes away and now,
I think I'm gonna have a pretty relaxed run in the final,
with a lot of strength and lots of good energy.
As that thing starts, see that thing coming,
get into it, and just go to town.
-Got it. -Pump it and have fun.
If I got to walk into that stadium,
just doing it for South Africa and walking into the biggest
sporting event in the world that only happens once
every four years, I would just like...
I might pass out.
Silvana Lima, please pick up your jersey.
You got the other three competitors
ready to paddle out.
One-ten. Thirty-minute final.
Still 25 wave maximum.
You'll be judged on your top three rides.
USA, big applause for Carissa Moore.
Let's see how the judges reward her for that.
Great. Open it up, Mulánovich.
Nice, you did it.
Right now, Blue has first priority.
Let's see what she can do on her first wave.
Check out this lift! This is a ten!
-Come on! Come around! -Yeah!
That was three times, quick wave. 7.77.
Here we go, take that peak. Starting out big!
That's Charlie Yellow. That's Charlie Blue.
There's Charlie Red.
Right now, Red in the lead.
Her first wave: 5.67.
It's a good final!
Blue, you've dropped to third with 5.36.
That's Yellow to fourth, with a 4.17 for opening ride.
And Silvana Lima, 2.77.
Here we go! Here we go!
Peru! Peru! Peru! Peru! Peru!
We are gonna countdown!
In five, four, three, two, one.
It looks like we are going to have our gold medalist
in Peru, Sofia Mulánovich.
Silver, Silvana Lima.
Bronze, Bianca Buitendag.
Well done, B.
I approached every heat like it was--
there was no second chance.
I am an Olympian.
Can't believe I'm saying that sentence.
Guess I ought to watch what I say.
That's crazy.
I'm so inspired by people like Sofia.
She was world champ,
and then she retired, or semi-retired,
and then one day she just decided
she's going to-- she wants to do the Olympics,
and shows you what the power of the mind is capable of.
Let's go, Peru!
I hope to be back next year,
selected in the slot
for South America.
I hope to be able to place, it would be a dream come true.
Thank you!
The universe is here with me today during this championship,
and I'm incredibly happy. Thank you to everyone
who has supported me. Thanks to my team Peru.
Go, Peru!
The ISA welcomes everyone
to the official Open Women's award ceremony.
It has been exciting, depressing, challenging...
a relief. It has been all the opposites all combined
into a few days. Coming here,
all I wanted to do was finish in the top thirty.
And the top African, that was my goal.
So I consider this a success.
How's that board you got?
It feels so fast, 'cause it's got so much fin.
And it just rotates on the one fin, you know?
My name is Michel Bourez,
I'm from Tahiti, and I'm a pro surfer.
Hey, if I surfed against myself,
I'd be cheating on the twin fin.
The Olympic medal will be remembered forever,
'cause it'll be the first one.
You could try it.
Maybe you'd sink it, but you could try it.
-What do you weigh? -I'm light.
-Eighty-two kilos. -Yeah, I'm at 75.
I'm too fat.
Preparing for the rounds is strategic work.
We have small and weak waves.
We have to see how they change with the tide.
Three-and-a-half minutes.
You're at your best.
My name is Jordy Smith and I'm a professional surfer.
In these types of conditions, Japan's pretty small,
regularly, so anything can happen.
Number hundred and fifty can beat number one,
you know, just like that.
Good luck, work hard.
You didn't have any opportunities.
I mean, you actually got good scores
-for your wave. -Well done there.
I'm glad it was this big.
Good practice for you.
It's fun, it's interesting. I haven't been--
I haven't surfed one of these events
since Miyazaki in 1990.
So, 29 years later, I'm here again,
you know, trying to win the contest
I never won as an amateur.
Hell, look, time broke him.
Five, four, three, two, one.
I came here and thought, like,
it's going to be just another event,
you know, like the first couple of rounds will be easy but...
...actually not, you know.
They have such good levels,
and it's pretty stressful at the same time,
'cause the waves were pretty small,
so makes everything harder.
Well done.
-You never fail! -Amazing round.
The surfer that best adapts
to nature's conditions is the winner.
I think today I adapted well. Let's keep up.
